The Cure - The Hanging Gardens guitar tab
The Cure (Staring at the Sea - the Singles)
THE HANGING GARDEN - tabbed by Scott Kaiser
This song is basic. Once you get the bass concept, its easy. Guitar in
this song is moody and clean. For all you keyboardists, you'll need a re
verse reverb effect to be get Robert's sound. I only display the stings
that are to be played in tablature, and got close with the rhythm.
Two measures drums
